It impossible to do that even for pick 3 which is the easiest common game.

If there was a way to do that the lottery commission would have shut down

the game because the many math professors in this country and abroad would have figured it out and wrote books on how to beat the system.

Cashwinfall - a discontinued Massachusetts game - had a flaw that a few savvy people learned and exploited to make huge profits.

Yes you're right, posting 50+numbers in all states will surely give you hits. My post though was rather about pulling in more virtual profit versus the amount wagered. If one can routinely predict for all those states with the least amount of numbers and still have a consistent winning record with an acceptable profit margin, the Predictions Page would have nicely served one of its purposes.

Seem is the operative word in your query, Cash4king.

A lot of people can seem to have the keys to winning without actually having squat.

Some like to seem to be wise old Professors of Lottery Wisdom and are quick to counsel barefoot pilgrims such as us.

Just out of observation a good chunk of this site solely does that.

When I was new here I used to think everyone was retired or unemployed but now know most are stay at home gamblers lol..whether they win or not is another matter.

..and don't believe the hype about getting paid...if you like waiting a month for your money and like talking to people of 50 different nationalities/countries to get it without it getting f*cked up is a hurdle.... [ More ]

As far as it not being easy, every time at look at the Predictions page for the ''lowly'' Pick 3, I'm constantly humbled by the very thin list of people whose winnings have kept ahead of their wagers over a 30 day period, and over the lifetime of the LP; And even that list is often temporary. The few who can consistently stay ahead is a great reminder that we can all do better, so while it may not be 'easy' for any of us, persistence helps to make it 'easier' than it ever was, and that's a good...

Exactly right. I did pay taxes on my winnings (minus loses). I should have used the words tax deferred. I found out here in California winning $600 or more means that you have to go to the Lottery Office, fill out paperwork, and wait for the check to be sent to you. The way I play now, I never have a ticket that is worth $600 or more, so the tax is deferred and I collect the next day. Also, tithing on the gross winnings is a must for me.

You, sir, have hit the nail on the head with a SLEDGEHAMMER! What we consider pennies is completely different than what the IRS considers pennies. They are looking at the Poker and Black Jack winners that are moving hundreds of thousands of dollars...and not paying taxes on that. Your post is GOLDEN.

The 599 dollar rule was in place for one reason. The IRS has neither the money, time and staff to enforce every single person who is a tax evader, especially if the person they audit shows a profit/loss profile, meaning worth the time, money and staff required, so they only go after the big guys.

If this is the case, then get ready for ANY winnings STATESIDE to be taxed as well. Picture that...going to the store to cash in a lotto ticket worth $40 when it costed you a total of $60 to even play. You'd be spending money to play, AND, to pay pay taxes on your losses. Really? C'mon now RJOh...I think you know better than that...you're way smarter than that. As it stands, anything over $600 must be claimed at the main office where they take the taxes anyway.

Very true. The misconception has been around for a long time now. You are still accountable for taxes paid for a 599.00 win or under. Any income is taxable.

No, I cannot afford to do that...honestly. Obama refused to disclose his birth certificate and college records while Romney refused to disclose the most important tax records. Therefore, I refuse to disclose my payout history. Please don't be angry with me because it's only business. Do I pay taxes on my wins? Absolutely.

If and when it's legal to play on line again, all your winnings will be taxable, not just the amounts over $600 that the states send out W-G's for. It was never legal not to pay taxes on lottery winnings even when players got away with it.

onlymoney, when playing the Pick 3/4 games, you must FIRST spend your own money in order to play the state(s) you desire according to your system. Correct? Okay. Now, before you can actually MAKE MONEY, the INITIAL COST to play must absolutely be RECOVERED in full before you can realize ANY PROFIT....just like any business. Therefore, the PROFIT will ALWAYS be SECONDARY. The reason I said at the minimum is because it'll depend on what the player is doing in terms of cost and states which dictate... [ More ]

When it was legal to play online, I made some pretty good money. Now that I can only play California, I make (profit) between $300 - $500 a month tax free. Couldn't do it as a full-time job, but it helps. I am very anxious to be able to legally play online again. Doesn't look like congress is in a hurry to pass any reform of the online gambling regulations that went into effect a few years ago.

Is there a system that can let you do that? If someone has one, they ain't telling. All you have to do is figure out how

to hit a $2.00 box, 5 out of 14 drawings a week in the pick 3. That will put $800 a week in your pocket. Sounds easy right?
